to finally cast this out.

I wish I could take your third eye
and
spin it so it stares right into your own mind.
Do you like how you lie, lie, lie
just to get by?* Bye, bye.

You make up excuses,
however useless,
to justify the way you betray.
You cheat
and continue to deceive,
then quit your own game and leave.
(I just hope one day you will see.)
You fabricate a revenge
on a "friend" who has given
you more than their best
time and time again.
(Will you ever extend
the same kindness
you were sent?)
Your lack of tact
shows your
striving for much
less than accurate.
"You let loss
be your guide"**
when you cut ties
to those who've been
nothing but allies.

Does it feel all right
to live your life in shame;
where trust is just a game?
Does it feel all right
to have no pride;
every move you have to hide?
Maybe in time
you'll right your wrongs
or else just
show everyone
it's a heavy cost
to friend a fraud.

"Do you lie to get by? woah, yea, yea"
**A line from a Broken Bells song
( ironically called "The High Road" ;) ),
"It's too late to change your mind,
you let loss be your guide".
